Archipelago: "Cheap, high speed restaurant (but no fast-food!)" Zanzibar Town Restaurant Tip by Veghel

Zanzibar Town Restaurants: 30 reviews and 47 photos

Archipelago is situated on the first floor and offers a nice view on the beach, ocean and harbour. The restaurant is very basic and lacks atmosphere, but the quality of the food and speed of the service are very good. Tables are 'sold' at least twice a night, so the restaurant is not suitable for a relaxed all-night dinner.

Because of its location on the first floor, you're not disturbed by people selling cashew nuts and souvenirs; which is a big advantage compared to some other restaurants.

Costs for a starter are between US$ 2 and 4. A main course is between US$ 4 and 6. A fresh fruit juice or a 1.5 L bottle of mineral water will cost you around US$ 1. The restaurant does not serve alcoholic drinks. However if you ask for it, they advise you to buy a beer or wine in the bar downstairs and take it back to your table!

Comparison: less expensive than average
Directions: From the House of Wonders, walk parallel to the beach in southern direction and you'll see Archipelago within one or two minutes. Just walk up the stairs.
Price: less than US$10
